If you’re in or near Takamatsu before August 8th, here is a small event that is not to be missed.
Every night, after sunset in Takamatsu Sunport you can see a free holographic light display that is pretty amazing.
Honestly, I’m not sure how “holographic” it really is, while the images are indeed CGI, I’m under the impression that the show is still two-dimensional, but honestly, it doesn’t matter. The thing is that the screen on which is projected the display is a large wall made of water projected from the sea into the air. And the result is quite stunning.
Here are a couple of videos to give you an idea of what to expect (keeping in mind that the real thing is much more beautiful).
The first piece is a recreation of possibly the most famous episode of the Battle of Yashima, namely Nasu no Yoichi piercing the Taira fan.
The second piece is more abstract, but stunning nonetheless.

So if you’re in or near Takamatsu until the end of next week and are looking for something interesting to do on these hot summer evenings, there you have one!

Just watched the first video and it looks… no offense but just okay. I’m sure it would look a LOT better in person though. Thanks for sharing though. I can’t make it but these videos will do.
Just a though to make it better, polarized filter. 🙂
Oh, I’m aware that my videos are just OK. Actually, I’m surprised that they turned out “just OK” and not unwatchable, shooting at night, outdoors and all that.
And yeah, their purpose is not to replace the real thing, but to give an idea of what the real thing look like.
Polarized filters… Mmmm… I just have a vague idea of what they are, have no clue how to use one, and I’m pretty sure you can’t put one on my camcorder.
